New recording (solo transcription)

Been working on learning this jaco groove for the past couple days and it's still a rough /incomplete, but I felt like trying out the direct out on my new WT-550. Tell me what you think.

Forget something?

Great playing! The tone is almost too clean. Not in a "dry" way, in fact the direct out sounds great for being straight from the head. Your playing needs more grit. Start playing more wrong notes

Keep up the good work.

Nice stuff man. I love that groove! I like how you put in that right hand slide down the neck, was wondering if you'd put that in

Yeah, this sounds great man. I'm groovin to it

Which bass are you putting through the WT550?

TFunkadelic · #7 10-21-2007, 02:00 PM

thanks man, it's an 2003 Warwick Thumb 5 string bolt on. I picked it up in August, and love it!

Reminds me alot of the bassline for the Sanford and Son theme. Especially around 19 seconds. Sounds good.

That sounds really nice! For some reason my Thumb 5 BO just doesn't seem to sound that good. Does it still have the stock pickups and preamp? What kind of strings are you using?

TFunkadelic · #13 10-22-2007, 11:21 AM

I bought it used, but as far as I can tell it's still stock in all regards. I actually haven't even changed the strings on it (no clue how old they are) and I don't know bass accessories well enough to be able to tell you what the originals are.
